Artist Statement

I am a multidiscipline artist, who currently enjoys exploring how components interact with each other, by either fitting or resisting, this is reflected within my use of narratives such as order, change and chaos within both physical and mental states. Through use of abstract and semi abstract motifs, my experimentation can often lead to unexpected places, opening doors to continually broaden possibilities. Influences include being brought up in a post war new town in which the uniformity of its buildings and environment reflected the modular kits played with as a child.
